What does homogeneous mixture means?

A homogeneous solution is a solution without interfaces (a particle with visible sides/something floating around that is not completely saturated) that is not opaque. A heterogeneous solution is a solution with interfaces. A colloid is a solution that has no interfaces but is opaque. Saltwater (with the salt completely dissolved) is a homogeneous solution; water with sand mixed in is heterogeneous because it will eventually separate and the sand has interfaces: and skim milk is a colloid because it is opaque but has no interfaces.


How do homogeneous mixtures differ from heterogeneous mixtures where does the compound table salt fit into the description?
